Hmm.. you ain't the only one.. I thought it was my ISP, but after a
little bit of testing, the problem seems to lie elsewhere.  I use
dialup with iijppp, and it seems no constant data stream can stay going for
more than a few seconds to a minute.. CVSUP never finishes (this is gonna
cause a problem once this gets fixed.. someone will just have to mail out
the appropriate patches, I suppose) an FTP download never finishes, loading
a web page never finishes.. I almost always get the "reset by peer" errors
in these cases. Stuff like IRC, however, works just fine for extended
periods of time. I tried doing many of the same things over ethernet at
work and everything seems to work just fine.

Hmmm.. Just tried a cvsup which sped along at normal speed at first
but slowed almost to a halt towards the end. At least it managed to finish.


Here's someone's FTP upload session to me that, surprisingly, finished.

ftp> send d:\test.txt
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'test.txt'.
226 Transfer complete.
22318 bytes sent in 680.20 seconds (0.03 Kbytes/sec)

.03KB/sec with a highly compressible text file between an ISDN TA and my
33k6 modem? I don't think so. :-)


Here's a make of /usr/ports/audio/xmcd

Receiving xmcd-2.2.tar.gz (406775 bytes):  7%fetch: reading remote file
